Showing No. 15 – 29:

15. Dine in a birdcage, by the lake or with a mountain view at Dusun Bambu

Dusun Bambu Family Leisure Park is an ideal place to spend the weekend with your loved ones, family or friends – here, you can find everything (literally), from villa accommodations to camps to activities like biking or adventure games for kids.

And of course, how can we miss out the best places for lunch or dinner? Dusun Bambu does not only have one, but three amazing restaurants, each with a unique theme, where you can dig in and bask in the gorgeous views.

16-a. In a birdcage suspended in the trees – Lutung Kasarung

Imagine dining like a bird, high up in the trees.

Each of its seats has a design of a bird’s cage that sits on top of the tree.

You can enjoy nature’s greenery all around you as you dig into your meal.

16-b. Dine in your little hut by the lake – Purbasari

This is one of the dreamiest places to dine at in Bandung.

The Purbasari restaurant features a traditional Indonesian gazebo that surrounds and overlooks a lake.

Here, you can dine in a traditional Indonesian vibe, and in comfort and style.

Trust us, if you bring your significant other here, he/she will be impressed!

17. Almost a doll’s house – Nanny Pavillon Home

One of the newest unique themed restaurants in the block in Bandung (though it already has many branches in other Indonesian cities), the interior of Nanny Pavillon is a sweet eye candy with its pretty furniture and cute interior.

Here, you can choose which ‘room’ you want to dine in – be it the Dining Room, Bedroom, Garden, Playroom, or even the Bathroom (yes, and your seats are toilet seats)!

Its Spaghetti Aglio Olio is very tasty, with plenty of smoked beef and real chili (instead of chili powder or chili flakes).

20. Food meets art (or the other way round) in Lawangwangi

Lawangwangi gives you a whole new perspective on capturing Bandung’s beauty – from a sophisticated deck.

Originally an art gallery, this place sums up to a piece of art in itself, with incredible creative bits you can enjoy one by one, when the mountain view from the all-glass interior doesn’t distract you.

The first floor of this gallery and restaurant serves as an exhibition space, gallery, and craft shop. They do have special exhibitions at times, so do check the schedule if you fancy artistic dining amidst the beautiful scenery of Bandung.

The food is also a work of art with thoughtful details in the display, like this picturesque Nasi Goreng Risotto, a traditional-Western fusion food with creamy mozzarella and tortilla.

23. Atmosphere – Romantic in Bali

True to its name, atmosphere is not the only exceptional thing you can enjoy in this Balinese-themed restaurant.

This restaurant’s design is inspired by Bali’s natural richness and topped with cozy gazebos, a fish pond and an indoor dining area with polished wood furniture and candles.

Natural, checked. Super romantic, checked. Adventurous, checked.

Food ranges from European, Asian, to Indonesian cuisine. If you want a full Balinese experience, try this Nasi Campur with Bebek Betutu and Sate Lilit, complete with the special Balinese condiment, sambal matah.

This cafe is located not far from an open amphitheatre where you can even watch art performances.

25. Kids’ dreams come true at Treehouse Cafe

Yes, you’ve read correctly.

Here’s a treehouse – the one in every child’s dream.

Better yet for all parents – it’s a treehouse with a cafe where you can sit down and relax in a cosy corner, either indoors or outdoors, while the kids are kept perfectly safe, busy, and happy, clamouring around their actual tree house.

This cafe even has a mini flying fox, so don’t worry if your hyperactive kids are bored by the treehouse!

Here, the specialty meal is also a kid’s favourite – sausages. Parents will approve of it too, as they are healthy homemade sausages with no artificial flavoring – just like this Big Banger Sausage (30cm long!), which is served with vegetables.

26. Three layers of Cocorico

Located in the hip neighborhood of cool cafes with great ambience and an astonishing city view from the heights, Cocorico is an outstanding choice to enjoy food, view, and overall, Bandung.

This three-storey cafe offers a different atmosphere on each level.

The first floor is a neat and splendid garden to enjoy an outdoor dining experience with an amazing view of the city.

On the second floor is an indoor dining area with a very exceptional interior that makes you feel like you’re in the middle of nature, with all its beauty and without the heat that comes with it – you get to lounge in air-conditioned comfort inside.

Third floor is where you can enjoy a heavenly view of Bandung from the rooftop area – words can’t do justice to its magnificence.

Other than traditional and Asian food, Cocorico also serves pizza with various toppings – which you must try.

El Diablo pizza is a popular choice with its unique combination of beef, mushroom, jalapenos, and Indonesian cayenne pepper.

27. Pick a gazebo and own it for a while in Stone Cafe

At the Stone Cafe, you’ll forget you’re actually in the city.

You get to dine in a village ambience, with bamboo decor in gazebos and a lot of stones, thus the name.

At 8pm, there’s also a live music performance to relax or even jam to.

The place serves desirable traditional and European foods with no artificial food flavouring. And one of the must-tries is the combo barbecue, a complete combination of sirloin, snapper fish and shrimp with special Stone Cafe sauce.

28. Bring your child (and inner child) to Rumah Stroberi

This spacious, mostly outdoor dining area is an integrated part of a whole pack of fun for kids, or anyone who just wants a playful moment.

Let’s say the fun starts with a vast strawberry farm, where you can bring home the best little red fresh fruit that you hand-picked.

And there’s this whimsical playground. Your kids would appreciate the outdoor time!

But don’t forget what you came here for (part of the reason, at least) – the food. With its specialty of traditional, Western and Asian food, both you and your little one wouldn’t mind leaving that playground. For a while.

If you visit with a group, try Paket Nasi Liwet Komplit for 4 persons, a traditional classic complete with various side dishes, vegetables, and special condiments.
